title: Potent anti-hepatoma efficacy of HCCS1 via dual tumor-targeting gene-virotherapy strategy.
abstract: We previously demonstrated that hepatocellular carcinoma suppressor 1 (HCCS1) exerts potent anti-tumor activity. In this study, we constructed a new dual tumor-targeting oncolytic adenovirus vector, PD55-HCCS1, in which E1A was driven by the promoter of progression elevated gene-3, which is hepatoma-specific, and a CMV-HCCS1 expression cassette replaced E1B55. The PD55-HCCS1-mediated selective expression of E1A and HCCS1 in hepatoma cells and tumor-selective cytotoxicity in vitro and in vivo demonstrated the strongest inhibition of BEL-7404 cell xenografts in nude mice among a number of control Ad vectors. These data indicated the efficacy and safety of the PD55-HCCS1 system for HCC treatment.
